Since 1930, Dependable Cleaners has set the standard for dry-cleaning service excellence along the Colorado Front Range. Through their passion for technology and unparalleled customer service, Jack and Esther Bugdanowitz built a chain of successful dry cleaning and laundry stores that today includes over 30 locations in the Denver and Boulder metropolitan areas.

The family members who operate Dependable Cleaners carry on the rich tradition of quality, service and reliability that began over 75 years ago by Jack and Esther. Today, we strive to both lead the dry-cleaning industry in Colorado and lead the business community in responsibly and generously supporting the communities in which we live and work.

Coats for Colorado was established in 1982 by Dependable Cleaners. Our program is Colorado’s largest coat drive and continues to be the largest in the United States. Through Coats for Colorado, we have provided well over one million coats to Colorado citizens, including over 77,000 alone during our 2005 campaign. Each year we assist more than 120 non-profit health and human service agencies in meeting the needs of their clients. We also provide winter coats to thousands of individuals and families.

Dependable and Denver's 7 (KMGH-TV) partnered for the first time to sponsor the 2003 campaign. In 2003, Colorado Governor Bill Owens signed a proclamation that declared October 1st to be Denver's 7 and Dependable Cleaners' Coats for Colorado Day in the State of Colorado.
